why
- OCTOBER-DECEMBER elements and compounds
October 3rd: We are currently studying Matter: part 1: properties, part 2: states of matter; crystalline structure of the solids, and part 3: types of matter( pure substances: elements and compounds)
- students are supposed to use the quiz-lets and practice the weekly lists of words.
- October 3rd-7th spelling words are: mixed general science terms and matter related terms: element, atom, neutron, proton, electrons,etc
- After October 11th students will study the properties of matter; they need to know the definitions of the physical and chemical properties we are studying in class.
- Mass, volume and density http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/mass_volume_density.htm
November to February: Science Fair project completion
